Several months before, a young man
named Robertson, tired and WORKOUT
docking, had applied for board at the
NPritchard farm, situated in a rough dis
trict of Kentucky. When told by the
widow that she could not accommo-
date him, he replied: II want no ac-
commodations. I merely want to stay
here few days and fare as you do. :"
His tone of voice was so appealing, and
his manners bespoke such gentlemanly
considerations, hat Mrs. Pritchard could
not refuse him. The few days length
'ened into weeks, the weeks into
months, and still the young man
showed no disposition to leave the
place; and, it can also be said, the old
woman and her daughter exhibited no
desire to part with his company.
Martha was, every one said, q
"strange sort of girl" Her features
were regular and her countenance had
that cast of melancholy which becomes
beautiful when the light of smile is
thrown upon it. She was not so tall
that she required superior grace to
save her from awkwardness, neither
was she so short of stature that GER
tain, yet inexprcssible, litheness es-
capped her.
Martha, whut air yer tidgitin' at?"
the widow asked, The girl, when her
mother began to speak in Robertson's
praise, had turned away and was busy
ing herself with a plaster-of-paris kit
ten which she took down from the
mantle-piece.

The Celebration of the Philomatlean

The 18th anniversary of the PhiIomath-
can Society of ST. Johns College was
celebrated in Mcdowell Hall last evening
Inc exercises opened with prayer by Rev.
W. w. Davis former member of the So

prepared and well received welcome adj

was an essay by Mr.. Bernard Murphy of
Allegheny county, entitled "A promi-

took up the labor problem and discussed

in the handling of so weighty subject

grew very impassioned and DEPICTED the

almost became audible.

Ills was noble effort, and judging from
the frequent applause, was well received.

the responsibilities enjoined on the Socie-
ty in living in this the evening of the
nineteenth century, He made an earn
est appeal for practical college men, who
think manual labor no disgrace. To say
the least the speech was both eloquent
and instructive. This closed the pro-
gram and the audience was dismissed by
the benediction from Rev. Mr. Williams.
There were in attendance large and en-
thusiastic audience, and judging from the
frequent demonstrations, every one pres
ent was entertained. After the literary
exercises large number INDUCED in
tripping the light fantastic toe to the
time of music that was soul enhancing.

A Few Articles Left.

The le9ies of the bazaar have few ar
ticles left over which they are endeavor-
ing to dispose of by getting up chances.
Among them is a barrel of Gambrill's
patent flour, now on exhibition at the
City Drug Store where chances can be
taken at 25 cents. Another is mammoth
bridal doll, which is estimated to be
worth $15 to 500 Chances for this beau
tiful picture of inanimate form, can be
secured at Mrs. Rehn's millinery store.
This is good opportunity for all who
have not contributed toward the Gene
terry fund to do so, and run the chance of
getting a barrel of excellent flour for %
cents or beautiful representation of the
human race, that will not entail upon its
owner untold expense for fashions fol-
lies.

The sentiment in favor of an agricultur-
al fair this year in Calvert country has
for some time been crystallizing and is
now taking very firm hold upon the atten-
ton of citizens generally throughout the
county. At the spring meeting Enterprise
Cuba few days ago at Drunkirk, the sub
iect came up for discussion, and the mem
bership were unanimously in favor of the
proposition made to hold fair here if suit
able grounds can be secured. If this can
not be done, the probability is that Fair
Haven will be selected for Calvert and
Anne Arundel county fair. 1t seems i'm
possible TO stir up the farmers of this
county to the importance of annual fairs
at some central point, at or near Annapo-
lis, and it would be wise perhaps # the
farmers in the southern section of the
county should join with Calvert aud have
the fair grounds at Fair Haven, which is
accessible by land and water.

Critically III.

Mr.. Leroy Kimball, the well-known
driver of the Adams Express wagon,
whose illness has been heretofore noticed
in the CAPITAL, is pronounced by his at
tending physician, to be in critical con
dition, with very slight hopes of rccov-
cry. Mr.. Kimball contracted his serious
illness in the interest of his company
while waiting, late and early around the
wharf in all kinds of weather, for the
fishermen to come in in order to secure
their patronage for his company Ever
since the establishment of the 3. 81 O.
Express at Annapolis there has been a
great rivalry and competition for freights
and both companies have been energetic
in their efforts to secure the patronage of
the public-and none more so than the
Adams, and Mr.. Kimbal has been the
leading factor in this direction.
DEATH OF MIR. KIMBALL.
The subject of the above remarks ex-
pred about one o'clock, p. m, since the
above was put in type, and now rests
from his labors. Peace to his ashes.
For some time previous to his late ILL
ness he joined church, and has since lived
a devoted christian life, becoming an
earnest and active worker in the cause of
Christianity.
Mr.. Kimball has been in the employ of
the Adams Express Company for eighteen
years, entering its service as a wagon boy
and worked his way up to messenger
His accommodating spirit and faithful
services will long be remembered by this
community in which he was so well.

leaves wife and five children. His fun
eral will take place Monday evening at 4
o'clock from his late residence on West
